What is Season 2 of The Rings of Power about?
The official synopsis for Season 2 of The Rings of Power reads: “In Season 2 of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel and without an army or allies, the aspiring Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power that will allow him to bend all the peoples of Middle-earth to his dark will.
“Building on the epic scope and ambition of the first season, the new season plunges even the most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, each of them must find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of disaster.
“Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and harfoots… as friendships are tested and kingdoms begin to crumble, the forces of goodwill fight ever more valiantly to preserve what matters most to them… each other.”
